In this episode, DJ DiDonna explores why a life-changing sabbatical might be more possible than you think. He explains why extended time away from our usual routines can offer something a vacation often can't: the space to reconnect with who we are beyond work, gain perspective on what matters, and imagine what we want the next chapter of our lives to look like. DJ and Eric also discuss how planning years ahead can make a sabbatical feel more realistic, and how we can apply the same principles of stepping away and disrupting our routines even when taking months off isn't possible.

When is enough enough? What if the life you're chasing is based on someone else's definition of success? In this conversation, John Kim and Buddy Wakefield explore the difference between going wide and going deep, and why fulfillment may have less to do with fame, money, and recognition than we think. From poetry, Portugal, and Los Angeles to money, hope, and the pressure to constantly achieve more, this episode is a raw and honest reflection on potential, ambition, and what actually makes a life feel meaningful. In this episode, John and Buddy talk about: Whether potential really has to "go wide" How growing up in Los Angeles shaped John's definition of success Why Buddy's experience in Portugal changed the way he thinks about enough The difference between external recognition and meaningful impact What money can and cannot provide How hustle culture can keep you disconnected from the present moment Why Buddy is learning to welcome the word hope back into his life The small, ordinary moments that bring real happiness If this episode resonated with you, follow the podcast, leave a rating, and share it with someone who has been measuring their worth by how wide they've gone instead of how deeply they've lived.

In this episode, Cassandra Vieten explores the science of using imagination to change how you think and feel. She explains that imagination isn't something reserved for creativity or daydreaming; we're using it constantly to anticipate the future, interpret the present, and tell stories about the past. Cassandra shares how becoming more conscious of these patterns can help us recognize when our imagination is working against us, shift the stories that keep us stuck, and use this powerful capacity to approach challenges with greater flexibility, possibility, and hope.

If you've expanded your options, checked your mindset, and reality tested your assumptions — but you're still not sure — it might be a timing problem.In this episode, I dig into when to go fast and when to go slow. There's a concept I picked up called "thinking gray" (deliberately refusing to form an opinion until you have to) that plays a big role in this process. Also, I'll talk about a simple question that has shaped some of the biggest moments of my life: "How will I feel about this in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years?" That question literally changed everything from family life to business for me, and I think it will for you, too.--- P.S.: If you like this podcast, you'll probably enjoy seeing Scott present live. If you are interested in having him speak to your organization, you can see the options and schedule time to talk with Scott about your event here: https://scottwozniak.com/speaking/---Sign up to have Scott email you a weekly idea, story or cool tool.

We can walk around with a massive set of unquestioned assumptions running our lives, yet not even know it.We might think we're being rational, but we've got confirmation bias working overtime. There's research showing that people on opposite sides of a debate can read the exact same article, and both walk away more convinced they were right. On top of that, the people with the least skill in an area tend to be the most confident about how good they are (look up the Dunning-Kruger effect — it's humbling).In this episode I get into how to actually break through that by running real experiments with real hypotheses. I'll also share the story of when I set up a clear test for a new business, watched it fail, and then talked myself into ignoring my own results for two and a half years.--- P.S.: If you like this podcast, you'll probably enjoy seeing Scott present live. If you are interested in having him speak to your organization, you can see the options and schedule time to talk with Scott about your event here: https://scottwozniak.com/speaking/---Sign up to have Scott email you a weekly idea, story or cool tool.

Lots of us are afraid of the very word: fear. We'd rather say anxiety, or worry, or panic.  Yet according to Thom Rutledge, fear underlies most difficult emotions, and is a close companion to shame. Fear plays into just about every decision we ever make in our lives. To defeat fear, according to Thom, is neither possible nor desirable. Instead we need to live beyond its control, and to understand it. Rather than squashing down the voices of panic and dread, we can face up to them, explore them and respond.  In this episode Andrew and Thom explore: ✅ The meaning of fear ✅ How we can understand fear in our own lives ✅ How our family background shapes our experience of fear ✅ Four ways we can start to “embrace fear”. Thom Rutledge has been a psychotherapist for more than 40 years and is the author of several books, including Embracing Fear, The Self-Forgiveness Handbook, Earning Your Own Respect, The Greater Possibilities and What Love Is. He draws on professional training and experience as well as his own personal experience in recovery and personal growth to work with his clients.

Legacy, leadership, aging parents, and compassion. Dave explores how today's choices shape tomorrow's memories and the life people will remember.

Your goal might be real and deeply meaningful, but the timeline you attached to it could be the thing draining your energy.I'm sharing one quote that has repeatedly helped me drop the stress of trying to achieve something and return to motivation and peace.When I hold that frame in mind, I stop treating progress like a verdict on my worth and start treating it like a journey I can adjust.We dig into a distinction I picked up from How to Live a Meaningful Life: the transactional world versus the flow world.Doing VS Being. How we need both and how to balance between them - to get more and feel good.Transactional mode is about getting things done, hitting targets, and moving on.Flow mode is about being present, noticing your experience, and actually living your life while you pursue big outcomes.The problem isn't doing.The problem is living only in doing, even turning “spiritual” practices like meditation or prayer into another task.I talk through how these two modes work best as polarities you use intentionally, not extremes you choose between.If you're working on long-term goals like fitness, health, building a business, creating impact, growing a career, or improving relationships, this mindset episode gives you a simple framework to reduce overwhelm - with a simple quote/mantra and a question to come back to every time your goals feel heavy or life feels like a chain of frustrations and setbacks.If it helped you - share it with one person, and leave a review to help me reach and help more people around the world.Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

Have you ever reached the end of a busy week and thought, Why doesn't my life feel more fulfilling? You're checking all the boxes. You're working, taking care of your family, exercising, and getting through your to-do list. Yet something still feels...off. In this solo episode, I share a simple framework that completely changed how I think about time, purpose, and living a meaningful life. During a morning walk, I realized there are only five areas that truly create a life we love. Everything else is simply filling our calendar. If you've been feeling stuck, uninspired, or like you're living on autopilot, this episode will help you identify where your time is actually going and how to realign it with what matters most. In this episode, I share: • The five buckets that create a meaningful life • Why being busy doesn't always mean you're fulfilled • A simple time audit that will help you identify what's stealing your joy • How to create more connection, purpose, and fun in your everyday life • Why midlife is the perfect season to intentionally redesign your life • Small shifts that can help you feel more aligned without adding more to your schedule If you've been craving more joy, deeper purpose, or simply want your days to feel more meaningful, this conversation will give you a practical way to evaluate your life and start making changes today.

What happens when we ignore pain?  Particularly if you're a man, you have been taught that pain is the enemy – perhaps it is unmanly even to feel it – so you soldier on ‘it's not that bad.' or ‘it will go away if I can get a good holiday' and you find ways to manage the pain. Women are often just as guilty – thinking ‘people are relying on me, I must keep it together'. After a while, we don't really notice the pain – it's like the hum of the fridge – always there. We sort of know that a problem ignored seldom gets better but we plough on – sometimes in blissful ignorance – until there is a crisis and our world comes tumbling down. My guests today are experts in what happens when it is impossible to stop pretending. Tyler and Brandon Patrick are brothers – Therapy Brothers (with a podcast of the same name).

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I reflect on what disability culture has taught me about building a meaningful life through uncertainty while navigating one of the most difficult seasons my family has experienced. Drawing from my lived experience as a parent, caregiver, coach, and someone with chronic illnesses and neurodivergence, I explore how disability culture offers powerful ways of thinking about grief, adaptation, accessibility, interdependence, and self-determination. Whether you're navigating graduate school, a demanding career, caregiving, burnout, chronic illness, or another major life transition, this episode invites you to reconsider how you respond to uncertainty with greater compassion. Throughout this episode, I share reflections inspired by disability culture and the ways it has reshaped my understanding of identity, productivity, and what it means to build a meaningful life alongside changing circumstances. I discuss how grief and joy can coexist, why acceptance creates space for adaptation, and how accessibility and interdependence can help us participate more fully in our work and lives. I also explore how these ideas can support graduate students and professionals seeking more sustainable ways to pursue their goals while honoring their current reality. In this episode, you will learn: How disability culture offers a different framework for navigating uncertainty and life transitions. Why grief and joy can coexist and what that means for personal growth. How acceptance and adaptation can support sustainable progress without abandoning meaningful goals. What accessibility and interdependence can teach us about participating more fully in work, school, and everyday life. How to align your goals with your current energy, capacity, and circumstances to build a more sustainable future. Work with me If you're navigating graduate school, a career transition, leadership, burnout, or another major life change, personalized coaching can help you build sustainable systems that align with your goals and capacity.

You've been standing on the sidelines. Watching your voice shrink every time the room gets uncomfortable. Letting fear dictate what you say, who you become, and how small you're willing to stay just to avoid the backlash. Here's the truth: the cost of silence is always higher than the cost of speaking up. And the moment you stop apologizing for what you believe is the moment you stop living someone else's script. Zuby is an Oxford educated rapper, bestselling author, and one of the most uncompromising independent thinkers alive. He's built a career using his voice to challenge narratives, spark real conversations, and inspire millions to stop waiting for permission to live boldly. In this episode, he breaks down the exact frameworks for building a life that means something, why usefulness beats happiness as a North Star, and the one practice that turns avoidance into courage. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the biggest killer of men under 50 is themselves and what that says about purpose, meaning, and the fundamental pillars that have been knocked out of modern life The moral duty to be strong: why it's not wrong to be weak, but it's wrong to voluntarily remain weak, and how competence builds confidence that serves others How to overcome fear when the people you love want you to stay the same and why listening to everyone doesn't mean taking everyone's advice The zoom out framework: fear God not man, remember most people have it harder than you do, and recognize you asked for the life you're living Why meaning comes from knowing what you actually value, not what society told you to prioritize, and how trade offs are the secret to building a life you designed instead of inherited Stop shrinking. Start speaking. The world doesn't need another person playing it safe. It needs you at full volume. ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: Stop Self-Obsessing and Start Building Something That Matters (00:00:53) The Hidden Crisis: Why Young Men Are Quietly Disappearing (00:02:18) Boys Are Always Building or Destroying: The Testosterone Truth (00:04:13) The Gender Role Confusion: Who Pays for the First Date and Why It Matters (00:07:33) Quiet Quitting Masculinity: The Generation Opting Out Entirely (00:11:30) Real Wages, Real Problems: The Economic Truth Nobody Wants to Admit (00:15:11) It's Wrong to Voluntarily Remain Weak: Your Moral Duty to Be Strong (00:19:12) The Parable of the Talents: Don't Stand Before God at Half Capacity (00:21:08) Look-Maxing, Vanity, and the 80-20 Rule for Men's Appearance (00:25:55) Stop Fighting Biology: Why Blank Slate Thinking Is Making Everyone Miserable (00:28:17) Build Competence First: The Foundation of Self-Respect (00:30:01) The Self-Obsession Trap: Focus Outward to Escape Your Own Head (00:32:44) Therapy, Shamans, and Substituting Religion: The Long Way Back to God (00:37:33) I Fear God, Not Man: The Source of Courage in a Cancel Culture (00:40:16) Zoom Out: You Asked for This Worry (00:43:42) Listen to Everyone, Obey No One: Handling Criticism from People You Love (00:46:04) The Nigerian Parents Who Let Zuby Become a Rapper (00:52:32) Never Let a Stranger on the Internet Ruin Your Day (00:53:33) What Is a Meaningful Life?

Most of us get stuck in either/or thinking way more than we realize. Should I take the job or not? Buy the house or not? Marry the girl or not? And when you reduce a big decision down to yes or no, it gets heavy fast — because now there's only two outcomes and one of them feels like loss. In this episode I walk through a handful of ways to break out of that trap. One of these is what I call a "root cause rethink," where you go back and ask why you actually want the thing in the first place (the answer might surprise you). There are almost always more than two choices. And if someone is pressuring you to decide right now between two options, that should be a red flag, not a motivator.--- P.S.: If you like this podcast, you'll probably enjoy seeing Scott present live. If you are interested in having him speak to your organization, you can see the options and schedule time to talk with Scott about your event here: https://scottwozniak.com/speaking/---Sign up to have Scott email you a weekly idea, story or cool tool.

Send us Fan MailSo much has been written and said about how to live a meaningful life.

The sheer volume of information is dizzying. Luckily, you've got Mansplaining to extract the juice from that oversized lemon.

In this episode of Meaningful Work Matters, host Andrew Soren is joined by Stanford design leader and life design pioneer Bill Burnett for a conversation about what it means to build a meaningful life, and why that question is bigger than work alone.Bill brings a design thinking lens to the topic meaning: how do we move beyond transactional living and create a life that feels psychologically rich, connected, and fully alive? Together, he and Andrew explore a set of practical mindsets that can help us approach our lives with more curiosity, flexibility, and intention.They also talk about an important tension in the meaning conversation: while meaningful work can be a powerful source of energy and purpose, it can also tip into obsession, burnout, and exploitation when our identities become too tightly wrapped around it. Bill offers a refreshing alternative that expands meaning beyond career success and into community, experimentation, and the relationships that shape who we become.Key TakeawaysMeaningful work matters, but a meaningful life cannot rest on work alone.Design thinking offers a practical way to approach life: stay curious, prototype, and learn by trying things.Mindsets like wonder, radical acceptance, and availability can help us move out of purely transactional living and into richer experiences of meaning.The healthiest way to pursue meaningful work may be to stay fully engaged and calmly attached, committed, but not consumed.Formative communities play a critical role in a good life by helping us become the kinds of people we want to be.Too much meaning in work can have a dark side, including burnout, blurred boundaries, and vulnerability to exploitation.Why This Episode MattersA lot of conversations about meaning focus on finding the right job, the right purpose, or the right passion. This episode broadens that frame. Bill Burnett reminds us that meaning is not just something we discover once and secure forever. It is something we design over time through our attention, our relationships, our habits, and our willingness to stay open to what life is asking of us.For listeners who want meaningful work but also want a sustainable, psychologically rich life, this conversation offers both language and tools.About Our GuestBill Burnett is an Adjunct Professor and Executive Director of the Life Design Lab at Stanford, where he has helped thousands of students and professionals apply design thinking to life and career decisions. Trained as a product designer, he has worked in both startups and Fortune 100 companies, including Apple, where he designed award-winning laptops, and in the toy industry, where he worked on Star Wars action toys. He is the co-author of Designing Your Life and Designing Your New Work Life, and his work bridges design, meaning, and human flourishing in ways that are both practical and deeply resonant.Mentioned in This EpisodeDesigning Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave EvansDesigning Your New Work Life by Bill Burnett and Dave EvansFully Alive by Design newsletterFree Life Design worksheets and tools

What does it mean to live well when certainty is unavailable? Michael Shermer speaks with Massimo Pigliucci about moral character, ancient philosophy, and the difficult art of making decisions without easy answers. The conversation moves from Cicero and Stoicism to the legacy of the New Atheism, asking why rejecting religion is not the same as having a philosophy of life. They discuss virtue ethics, moral dilemmas, effective altruism, faith, free will, democracy, human flourishing, and the uneasy relationship between facts and values. From the trolley problem and Peter Singer's drowning child thought experiment to the ethics of charity, the limits of utilitarian thinking, and the dangers of tribalism, this episode asks how we should act when rules fail, consequences are uncertain, and good intentions are not enough. Massimo Pigliucci is a bestselling author, philosopher, evolutionary biologist, and the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York. His work spans evolutionary biology, philosophy of science, pseudoscience, and practical philosophy. His latest book is How to Be a Happy Skeptic: The Power of Doubt in a Meaningful Life.

We've never been more connected, and we've never been more alone. Men have endless ways to reach each other and almost no reason they'll actually use them. We don't reach out. We don't check in. We won't pay another man a compliment without slapping "no homo" on the end of it to make sure nobody mistakes us for caring. And somewhere along the way, we decided that the first flowers a man receives should arrive at his funeral. This week, AJ Kazmierczak joins the show to tear that pattern apart. We get into why connection is the single most valuable skill a man can build, how to develop it on purpose, and why most guys would rather avoid the discomfort of self-auditing than face what's actually holding them back. We talk accountability, discernment, evolving without losing yourself, and what it really costs to be the kind of man other men want in their corner.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Episode Introduction 01:30 - Reconnecting After Montana Knife Company 05:20 - Why Men Are More Connected Yet More Isolated 08:00 - The Lost Art of Complimenting Other Men 12:57 - Building Relationships Through Small Conversations 16:24 - Accountability and Encouragement in Unexpected Places 21:16 - Why Communication Skills Matter More Than Credentials 24:47 - Whose Opinions Should Actually Matter 31:21 - Creating an Identity Instead of Fitting In 35:49 - Authenticity, Attention, and Standing Out 38:36 - Evolving Without Losing Yourself 42:55 - Why Honest Feedback Is So Rare 45:09 - Self-Auditing and Becoming More Self-Aware 49:08 - Fast Decision Makers vs Overthinkers 51:59 - The Problem With Being the "Nice Guy" 54:14 - Technical Reset + Bringing It Home 55:12 - Redefining What It Means to Be Alpha 57:36 - Family, Purpose, and Building a Meaningful Life 01:00:18 - Connection, Conversation, and Community 01:01:12 - Winter Strong, Sorenex, and Future Plans 01:02:59 - Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Drawing from his own experience of realizing he had virtually no close friendships, Dirk shares the practical and deeply personal journey that led him to write his book, Why We Ask. Together, they explore: Why proximity is not the same as connection The difference between acquaintances, friends, and close friendships How asking better questions transforms relationships Why intentionality matters in building community How parents can help children develop friendship skills The connection between friendship, meaning, and authentic belonging Why curiosity and humility are essential for healthy relationships This conversation offers practical encouragement for parents, educators, and anyone longing for deeper connection in an increasingly disconnected culture.

While that's an important and useful aim, it's only half the game. The other half of the game is that it is in service of other people and being able to be a positive force in the world. We all have the ability to be a positive force in the world.” –Eric ZimmerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A little of something beats a lot of nothing every single time. How a Little Becomes a Lot author Eric Zimmer explains the math of meaningful change.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1327What We Discuss with Eric Zimmer:Real change isn't the cinematic rock-bottom epiphany we love to romanticize — it's the thousands of unglamorous, repeated micro-decisions that follow it. Calling the sponsor instead of the dealer. Driving the long way home. The watershed moment only matters because of what comes after.What feels permanently insurmountable can genuinely vanish as a problem. Eric drove oxycodone to his mom for weeks without flinching, when years earlier he'd have robbed someone at gunpoint for those same pills — proof that cravings don't always require lifelong white-knuckled willpower.All-or-nothing thinking is the silent killer of progress. The protein-powder-and-two-hour-gym-sessions fantasy keeps people doing literally nothing, when a 15-minute walk after dinner would honor the underlying goal and keep momentum alive. A little of something beats a lot of nothing.You can't pull a "feel happy" lever — emotions don't have one. But behavior does, and acting your way into right thinking is often more reliable than thinking your way into right action. Show up, shake hands, do the small thing, and the inner state tends to follow.Get honest about what you actually value by noticing what stays constant across different rooms and moods, not what flickers based on whoever you were just hanging out with. Then make those values easier to live — shrink the action, remove the friction, and let the next good choice be the path of least resistance.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Maria explains why she chooses to "see the good" and what it means to reclaim your personal power. "Lately," she says, "I've been choosing to widen my gaze beyond the daily news I consume and seek out the good -- the light, the love and the truth -- that's shining through the cracks." Oprah also asks the former first lady of California whether she will ever run for political office. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Maria Shriver, the Peabody- and Emmy-award winning journalist, producer and best-selling author, sits down with Oprah to share inspiring quotations, prayers and reflections featured in her number one New York Times best-selling book "I've Been Thinking...: Reflections, Prayers, and Meditations for a Meaningful Life." Oprah and Maria discuss their nearly 40-year friendship and the lessons they both learned from Maria's mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Maria looks back on the personal challenges she's experienced, including how she found the strength to navigate her mother's death and the grief that came afterward.

Maria is the founder of the Women's Alzheimer's Movement, a nonprofit committed to researching why women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's disease and, in so doing, finding a cure.
